Do electric fireplaces really look real?

best real looking electric fireplaces image

The ones I saw at walmart and homedepot look like crap. I looked online and some some from a company called Dimplex that looks pretty real. Has anyone bought one of these? Do they look real? I don't want to be be embarrassed with some piece of crap that I bought online and can't return. Does anyone have any other companies to suggest? Thanks.

do electric fireplaces look real?...well they kind of do, but the better electric fireplaces are not going to be at a big box store, you really need to visit a specialty fireplace shop. Any shop worth its bricks will carry a good brand that looks more realistic.
Overall though you are not going to fool anyone that an electric fireplace is a real one. They are an aesthetic all their own.
Personally i like the look of them and they are easy to operate but they are not going to fool anybody into thinking they are real.

I own a home without a fireplace, I'd like to have one but?

don't have the money to have one put in professionally. Are there other options out there? I have heard you can put in fireplaces that don't require a chimney but burn real wood and act as a heater more or less... Anybody out there have any experience or suggestions?

Answer
Hi Cherokee,

You can't put in a fireplace that burns real wood without at least a vent pipe.

You can put in a electric fireplace with fake logs that look real and they also put an electric heater in them so you have a heating option.

They look great & are no trouble at all.

Check them out. You will be amazed how real they look.
